If you fell asleep at the beginning of a 4 hour drive where I live, and woke up at the end, odds are very very high that you wouldn't be able to tell any difference in the surroundings.
I-10 driving across Texas...
It's a shorter drive getting the San Diego, California to El Paso, Texas than from El Paso to Beaumont Texas on the same road.
If you're in Los Angeles, you may not have left your county yet
India: Drive for a few hours, completely different language, culture, food, dresscode.
If I drive for 4 hours, I may be two countries away.
Twice? Are you driving Stuart Little's car?
Slow your roll 'muricans. I got off a plane in Massachusetts and now I have to order my breakfast sandwich on whatever the fuck a bulkie is instead.
There are different accents in the US. Talk to people from Texas, Louisiana, Rhode Island, and California, they all sound different with the person from Louisiana probably being the most incomprehensible.
For that matter talk to someone from Dallas, TX and then someone from Tulsa, OK. That's only a 4 1/2 hour drive. They will both sound different. I'm pretty sure there's a different accent in Oklahoma City compared to Tulsa, and a different one in San Antonio compared to Dallas.
youre thinking about Cajun English, which is getting less and less common, and really is found in the southern parts of Louisiana. most louisiana residents not from deep in the bayou speak relatively comprehensibly.
